Valentine

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. // Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee: $100 plus taxHello there! I'm Valentine, a 10-year-old, resilient sweetheart of a kitty with a distinctive little "kiss" mark on my nose. I came to the rescue on Valentine's Day, and though my story began under sad circumstances, I'm ready to start a new chapter full of love and happiness. I had spent my entire life in one home before being surrendered (due to absolutely no fault of my own), so when I first arrived at the rescue, I was heartbroken and scared. But with the patience and care of my foster family, I've come out of my shell and am now eager for a fresh start. I'm a curious and friendly cat who loves to seek out attention from the people I trust, like by rubbing against your legs, meowing, tapping you with my paw, or flopping around. It's fun for me to try and get you to do my bidding, like give me a treat! I adore pets and chin scratches and I'm not necessarily afraid of new people, though I do appreciate slow introductions and the occasional treat or soft food to win my heart. If I don't like being petted a certain way, I'll let you know. Don't worry, I'll typically make my preferences clear! While I might not be a fan of being picked up just yet, I'm more than happy to lounge on my cat stand or chase after feather toys. I still have the playful spirit of a much younger kitty! Here's a fun tidbit from my foster mom: She thinks I have a little sassy streak in me and that I might enjoy being the one in charge. I've lived with another cat before, and I'm curious about the feline friends in my foster home. However, I do enjoy having my own space and think it might be better to be the only pet in my new home. A quiet environment where I can feel safe and loved would be ideal for me. I'm looking for a forever home where I'll be cherished and cared for, and where I can enjoy the happy ending I deserve. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a sweet, resilient kitty with a touch of sass, I promise to bring love and gratitude into your life. Let's make next year's Valentine's Day extra special together-let's meet and start our new adventure together! If you have previously applied with us please email [email protected] to reactivate your application with new interest. or *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called 'cute' as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process. *Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. //
